Hi Sadakar,

You could try:

    jar tf Jaspersoft_Automation-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

To verify that the Cucumber main class is indeed in the jar.

Cheers,

Shannon

Hi Shannon, 

Thank you for the inputs. I generally looking at MANIFEST.FT file for the main class.
After doing a lot of R&D I could able to run cucumber project from maven generated jar file from command prompt. 

1. build command used in eclipse : clean package shade:shade

2. plugin in pom.xml

<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>

<version>3.2.0</version>

<configuration>

<archive>

<manifest>

<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>

<mainClass>com.sadakar.selenium.common.BasePage</mainClass>

</manifest>

</archive>

</configuration>

</plugin>

3. BasePage.java

package com.sadakar.selenium.common;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class BasePage {

public  static WebDriver driver;

public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable{

try {

cucumber.api.cli.Main.main(

new String[]{

"classpath:features",

"-t","@ValidLogin",

"-g", "com.sadakar.cucumber.stepdefinitions/", 

"-g","com.sadakar.cucumber.common",

"-p","pretty", 

"-p","json:target/cucumber-reports/Cucumber.json",

"-p", "html:target/cucumber-reports",

}

); 

}

catch(Exception e) {

System.out.println("Main method exception");

}

}

}

Normally, Maven will not create a runnable jar with all the dependencies. You will need the assembly plugin for that. [1]

But why are you trying to run the jar instead of using Surefire to run your tests?

Hth,
